Lyrics

On the day you left I didn??™t know
Which way to turn -- which way to go
I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.

And even now I just can??™t stand
To think of you with another man
But does he know, does he really know
What he??™s taken on?

I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
At times I thought I??™d go insane
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.

Yes I was lost, I was confused
But he??™s the one who??™s being used
Yeah does he know, does he really know
What he??™s taken on?

Now he might think he??™s got your love
And that it came from God above
Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
He sees your beauty but I know your needs.

He believes that you??™re sincere
When you say love ain??™t living here
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
What he??™s taken on?

Now he might think he??™s got your love
And that it came from God above
Is he so blind that he can??™t see
You??™ll leave him like you left me.

You sailed away all by yourself
And I was left here on the shelf
I never thought I??™d say these words
But I??™m glad you??™re gone.

Yeah he??™s found truth -- certainty
Resolution, veracity
But does he know -- does he really know
What he??™s taken on?

Well does he know? Well does he know?
Well does he know? Well does he know?
No no no no no!
